On any other grounds but those in Lowell
the game yesterday would have resulted in
favor of the champions by score of to
instead of the way it did. In order to under
stand how the grounds should make such
change one must have some idea of this ia
nous back yard. 1t is long, narrow strip
OF land laying between the street and river,
and Is not wide enough to allow the diamond
to be laid out as on other grounds. 1t lays
nearly. across instead iof lengthwise so
that the spectators in the grand stand
which is across the end, look right
fielder. Both centre and right fielders stand
close TO the fence, which runs so near first
base that the right fielder is cut OF from
about half his usual territory. The foul line
is not the required distance from the home
plate for home run, but the line hits the
fence 25 or 80 feet farther down. Between
this line and the foul line is allowed a single
base when the ball goes over the fence. tits
to the advantage OF the batter when short
fly is hit because the right fielder would get
his disadvantage when long drive is made
for then he only gets credit for single when
on other grounds il would be a home run.
Now in yesterdays game, in the first in
ming after ID. Burns mad struck out, Hart
nett got his base on balls, Cudwerth's hit
sent him to second, and he scored on Duffy's
hit With men on second and third, Higgins
then hit high fly which dropped just out
side the fence and which would have been
way inside of the diamond had it been prop
erly laid out. Andrus would easily have
caught it and no runs would have been
scored as the next man went out on a foul
tip. But it went for hsme run and three
runs came in. In the fourth Sullivan hit
safe and ID. Burns had flied out, Duffy hit a
hy similar to Higgins, which dropped not
ttuentu feet to the right of DAWN but over
the fence. Think Of It'll A centre fielder
had to let fly go that dropped within twen-
tw feet of where he usually stands, and then
wonder why Lowell is ahead of Manchester,
| This made five runs that Lowell scored on
account of luck and back yard to play in.
| On the other hand Dickefson made a long
drive over the fence that ought to have been
| a home run but it only counted for one base.
Beside the home runs Lowell scored, four
| singles were due to the fence for Andrus
| could have captured them all on decent
| grounds. Lufberry's home run was a long
| hit iu the seventh that hit the roof of neigh
| boring house, and one of Higgins was made
| over the left field fence into the river. The
| Portlands scored their four runs in the
| fourth on five clean hits and couple of bat
| terry errors. Higgins worked his double
play once successfully. Petween 1900 and
